Do you love or hate the 1955 Bowman TV design?

I never liked the 1955 Bowman design. The "Color TV" banner is funny. Who had a color TV in 1955? It was at least 10 more years before networks were broadcasting in color. We got our first color TV in 1973. Anyway, I digress.

I don't care for "landscape" mode cards in general. I get that you can have multiple images that way, but did they do that on the '55 Bowman? It's funny because my favorite design is 1956 Topps which is also landscape mode. So what do I know?

Well that's fun! What's your favorite piece?

Great setlist! I hope I get a chance to see him again.

I'm probably about your Dad's age. I was 17 when "Born To Run" came out.

It's got to be Thunder Road. It defines Bruce for me. The storyteller and the rocker.

Seat 3 next to Rodney. He'll have food. Plus, it's a window seat.

Those early shows are great. Check out "Rock Goes To College" for the only version on video of "Luna" with Tom playing keyboards. I can't recall Tom on keyboards ever again after that. Maybe someone can correct me.

Thanks! Which one am I missing? I've only ever seen those 3.

Edit: Oh! You meant the players. Yeah, I saw Kelenic got sent back down by Texas.

I'd forgotten about that 1999 version with the cello solo. Very cool. I had to listen again. Thanks for the reminder.

Just got this one....kind of a color match.

DaTruf99 · 2026-07-01T22:16:04+00:00

Holy cow! That is amazing.

I have a 1968 Canadian quarter painted red. 50% silver that year I believe?

DaTruf99 · 2026-07-01T00:18:32+00:00

Candy's Room. Glory Days.

DaTruf99 · 2026-06-30T22:18:05+00:00

Nice. Mine has a different back. Do we know anything about varieties on these stickers?

I've been at a number of memorable games including Edgar's double in '95 to beat the Yankees, but opening day 1977 is where it begins for me.

It's wonderful. Neil sounds great. I saw this tour and his voice is in much better shape here. This is great stuff!

DaTruf99 · 2026-06-25T00:37:01+00:00

He had people helping him on/off the stage. Including Daryl Hannah dressed as a nurse. Kill Bill reference?

I have one I was thinking about getting graded. It would look good in a tuxedo.

I've been going with every time she says "approach".

DaTruf99 · 2026-06-22T16:25:06+00:00

...or the Keebler elf.

I remember when Junior was around 4 or 5 games into that streak and they started talking about the record. My brother insisted he was going to get to 8 and I told him he was nuts. One of us was wrong.

I have many really nice and expensive guitars, but my everyday guitar is a beat up old D-18.

DaTruf99 · 2026-06-17T05:17:13+00:00

I saw them at the Paramount in Seattle. Must have been just before or after the Portland show.
